Tudor & Elizabethan
Robert Greene
Robert Greene was an Elizabethan playwright, pamphleteer and poet, notorious in his own time for his dissolute life and for a posthumous pamphlet often read as an attack on the young William Shakespeare.
His lyric poems, many sung by characters in his prose romances, are notable for their pastoral grace and simplicity.
